But the Justice League star is totally lying denying he's there to appear on camera, saying he just "showed up to see his pals, showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss and "just happened to see people on set."

That's what Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have to say to the critics of their next HBO drama Confederate.

The freshly announced project imagines a modern-day America where slavery is still legal and has evolved into a modern institution. The show will follow characters on both sides of the "the Mason-Dixon Demilitarized Zone" in the events leading to the "Third American Civil War."

Needless to say, not everyone was hooked by the modern slavery concept — especially from two white producers whose current show has been called out for a lack of diversity.

Some critics were so appalled, they accused HBO of making a show that sounds like a white supremacist fantasy!

But Benioff and Weiss — along with producers Nichelle Tramble Spellman and Malcolm Spellman — are telling haters to slow their roll, calling the backlash "a little premature" in a new interview.

Speaking to Vulture on Thursday, the writers said no scripts for Confederate have even been written yet, and people should watch the premiere before they decide whether the concept offends them or not. Benioff noted:

Game Of Thrones may be coming to an end sooner than we'd like, but that doesn't mean we've seen the last of Westeros!

Over the weekend, showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss confirmed a few rumors about the final two seasons of the Emmy-winning series — along with any future shows that might be adapted from the fucked up mind of George R.R. Martin.

Considering the, well, dramatic season Game of Thrones had, we aren't entirely surprised by this one!

On Sunday, the HBO series won Outstanding Drama Series at the 2016 Emmys! Kit Harington, Emilia Clarke, Maisie Williams, and more of the cast and crew took to the stage to celebrate the big honor!

The fantasy show trumped competitive contenders like The Americans, Better Call Saul, Downton Abbey, Homeland, House of Cards, and Mr. Robot.

Co-creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss accepted the award, delivering a pretty standard speech in the process. But, David did give a sweet shoutout to his wife, in honor of their upcoming ten-year anniversary!

At the Television Critics Association's summer press tour on Thursday, the executive was asked if the hit show would last after Season 7. Lombardo predicted the show would run for two years after Season 6, which is currently being filmed in Belfast, Ireland. He said:

"[Showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss] are probably feeling there are two more years after [Season 6]. Seven seasons and out has never been the conversation. The question is how many beyond the seventh season we're gonna do."

While author George R.R. Martin planned seven books for the Song of Ice and Fire series, HBO's juggernaut has taken precedence and will outpace the novels — a release date for the sixth book in the series, The Winds of Winter, has yet to be announced.

Since the GoT universe is so massive, the premium cable network is "open" to exploring more of Westeros after the show ends, with the possibility of a prequel series — if HBO's Small Council is up for it:

In July, father John McCain was diagnosed with stage 4 glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer, which also claimed Beau's life.

When the 33-year-old began crying, the politician went over and consoled her, adding:

"There is hope... And if anybody can make it, your dad [can]."

Biden is also optimistic about "breakthroughs that are occurring now," regarding potential treatment options and cures.

"There's a lot of things happening. Any of you who have somebody who is diagnosed with gliobastoma, which is about as bad as it gets, there's breakthroughs that are occurring now... And it can happen tomorrow."
